The graph below shows the altitude, in feet, of a model rocket t seconds after launch. During this time, the rocket
experiences three distinct modes of flight. Initially, the engine accelerates the rocket upward. The rocket then coasts
upward, is slowed by gravity, and eventually begins to fall. Last, a parachute opens and the rocket drifts smoothly
back to the ground.
